Senate honors 2025–2026 Senate Fellows in floor ceremony
Summary
The Senate held a ceremony recognizing its 2025–2026 class of Senate Fellows; senators introduced fellows from their offices, described work they staffed, and invited family and colleagues to the gallery and a reception.
The California State Senate held a floor ceremony recognizing the 2025–2026 Senate Fellows. Pro Tem Limon opened the ceremony and described the fellowship as a long‑standing hands‑on program in the legislature; multiple senators then introduced and praised fellows who served in their offices.
Speakers highlighted fellows' responsibilities and accomplishments — for example, Mariana Barzenas (Senator Grayson's office) was praised for staffing transportation and energy work; Alondra Cervantes (Senator Perez's office) was noted for work on immigration bills; and Renee Fagan (Senator Reyes' office) was recognized for work on SB 1271 related to midwifery workforce support. The ceremony concluded with a group photo and announcement of a reception in the Eureka Room.
What happens next: The fellows will complete the program and many are expected to continue in public service; the ceremony is ceremonial recognition and does not entail legislative action.
